Pursuant to serving a search
warrant and seizing evidence from that search as it relates to the
Beauchamp homicide, Katherine Jacqueline Dixon of 818 Country Club
Circle was re-interviewed by Detectives Ted Armstrong and Sam Murphy.
The interview was conducted at the Yoknapatawpha County Sheriff's
Office. Also in attendance was Ms. Dixon's attorney Jack Diamond,
Esquire.

Detective Ted Armstrong:
Thank you. The record should also reflect that Ms. Dixon has counsel
present, Attorney Jack Diamond.

Jack Diamond: And let the
record further reflect that as I stated in this witness's father's
interview, this is absolutely ridiculous. Yoknapatawpha's finest can't
truly believe that Ms. Dixon is a viable suspect in Mr. Beauchamp's
murder, can they?

Detective Ted Armstrong: Ms.
Dixon is a
viable witness in this case. The
extent of her involvement, we hope to clarify this afternoon.

Jack Diamond: Kat, as your
attorney I advise you to cooperate. But if you do not understand a
question, don't answer it without clarification.

Katherine Dixon: All right. I
understand, Jack.

Jack Diamond: Go ahead with
your questions.

Detective Sam Murphy: Ms.
Dixon, there are a few follow up questions which we'll take up first,
then we'll discuss the evidence that was seized and marked for evidence
pursuant to the search warrant that was served on your residence at 818
Country Club Circle, February 2, 2010. Do you understand?

Katherine Dixon: I understand.

Detective Ted Armstrong: What
time did you arrive in Oxford on the night of January 2, 2010?

Katherine Dixon: I'm sure I
already answered this. I guess it was about 10 o'clock at night.

Detective Ted Armstrong:
Phone records for Mr. Beauchamp's home show a call was made from your
residence to his home on the night of the 2nd at 9:49 p.m. Did you
place that call?

Katherine Dixon: Yes, I did.
What's the problem? Oh, okay... I get it. Well, I guess I must've
gotten home sometime before 9:49 p.m.

Detective Ted Armstrong: When
did you place the call?

Katherine Dixon: Well
Detective, you seem to know better than I. You just said it was 9:49
p.m. and I don't dispute it.

Detective Ted Armstrong: Did
you place the call as soon as you arrived home or five minutes after
you got there or an hour?

Katherine Dixon: It was
probably within a few minutes... five minutes. He wasn't home. I left a
message just to let him know I was back. But you probably have the tape
and probably know that, don't you?

Detective Sam Murphy: And
when you found he was not at home, did you drive over to his house and
wait for him to come home?

Katherine Dixon: No ma'am I
didn't. I took a bath - stayed up a little waiting for Daddy... and
okay, maybe thinking Dev might call me back... then drifted off to
sleep.

Detective Ted Armstrong: When
you got there, you marched up to the front door...

Katherine Dixon: Excuse me?
What are you talking about? Jack, what do they mean?

Katherine Dixon: Ms. Dixon
has made it clear she did not go to Mr. Beauchamp's that evening. Can
we move on to the next question please?

Detective Ted Armstrong:
Okay, how about this one: do you have access to a dark-colored foreign
sedan?

Detective Ted Armstrong: You
have any friends who would lend you their car? One that would fit that
description?

Katherine Dixon: I don't need
to borrow anyone's car. If I did, Daddy would lend me his or rent one
for me. But it wouldn't be a foreign model. I prefer American cars and
so does Daddy.

Detective Sam
Murphy: Were you angry with Mr. Beauchamp because he rejected
you? Didn't want to have an affair with you?

Katherine Dixon: I was never
angry with Dev.

Detective Ted Armstrong: Were
you angry with your daddy because he kept you two apart?

Katherine Dixon: My daddy did
no such thing. And no, I was not angry with him.

Detective Sam Murphy: Were
you blackmailing Devlin Beauchamp?

Katherine Dixon: About what?
This is positively ridiculous. Jack, do I have to answer these absurd
questions?

Jack Diamond: These are
stepping over the line, Murph. You have something on her that you
aren't saying?

Detective Sam Murphy: She
found a letter from Franklin Enterprises to Mr. Beauchamp, effectively
offering him a deal and cutting Carl Dixon out. She told us about the
letter in her first interview. It turned up in the search we did of her
home.

Jack Diamond: Answer the
question, Kat.

Katherine Dixon: No, I wasn't
blackmailing him. I didn't give Daddy the letter. He must've found it
himself. Remember, I told you I went back to get it and it was gone.

Detective Ted Armstrong: How
do you know your father had it?

Katherine Dixon: I know you
didn't find it in my things, so you must have found it in his.

Detective Sam Murphy: Do you
have Mr. Beauchamp's journals? Any of them? From any time period?

Katherine Dixon: Dev's
precious journals? Are you serious? How would I have come by those? I
would've had to steal them. I don't steal. I don't have them. You
searched my house, my bedroom, my bathroom, my laundry... did you find
them? No, you did not! I don't have them, no.

Detective Ted Armstrong: You
said that you returned early from your trip on the night of the 2nd.
Why wasn't your father surprised to find you home that night?

Katherine Dixon: I called on
my way home, on my cell phone, and left a message for him with Isabel
at the restaurant. You can ask Isabel or check with the phone company
if you want.

Detective Ted Armstrong:
Where was your father?

Katherine Dixon: It was
during the dinner rush. He probably was there, but he couldn't come to
the phone. I think... honestly it was over a month ago. I was driving
home. I think it was about 8:00 and Isabel said she couldn't find him.
I guess I thought he wasn't there, but probably he just was too busy to
pick up the phone. I am sure he will be happy to tell you if you ask
him.

Detective Ted Armstrong: Did
your father tell you about his argument with Mr. Beauchamp? The one
they had in the restaurant on the night of the 2nd?

Katherine Dixon: Some. He
said they'd argued and he felt bad. You know - this was after he found
Dev - I guess he regretted that the last words between them were
hostile. My daddy is a very sensitive man. He doesn't like to hurt
people because he's seen a lot of hurt in his life and just wouldn't
wish it on anybody.

Detective Ted Armstrong: Did
he specifically tell you what the argument was about?

Katherine Dixon: No, he
didn't. They argued a lot... I guessed it was about money or spending
or something.

Detective Sam Murphy: Would
it surprise you to learn that much of the argument was about you and
Mr. Beauchamp? I now show you this photograph of you and the victim
together. Photographs seized in the search conducted at 818 Country
Club Circle. Your father obviously had you followed and had photographs
taken.

Katherine Dixon: Not totally,
no. I know my daddy knew how I felt about Dev and I knew he didn't
approve. Dev told me as much. Not that he needed to... I knew. I guess
I ought to be pissed off, but my daddy does this stuff because he cares
and I guess I'm all he's got.

Detective Sam Murphy: So,
none of this makes you angry or feel violated? He had you followed,
photographed, in essence he spied on you. Does this bother you?

Katherine Dixon: No. You know
you put it in those terms, but that wasn't what he meant to do. He was
just trying to protect me, you understand? I mean, how many people out
there have parents who don't even give a damn? Truth be told, there
wasn't anything for him to find out. Dev didn't want me. I knew that.
Those pictures were taken the day he told me so. In no uncertain terms,
I might add. Maybe that's why I went away for the weekend, to clear my
head...

Detective Ted Armstrong: So
the statements that Mickie Webster made to us regarding questions you
asked her about Beauchamp were untrue?

Katherine Dixon: I asked her
about him. You know; if she cooked for him and what he liked. What kind
of movies and things he liked. Stuff like that.

Katherine Dixon: I'm sorry?
What do you... you mean; did I ask her what he liked in bed? Hell, no!

Detective Ted Armstrong: How
would you describe your relationship with Ms. Webster?

Katherine Dixon: It started
out okay, but once she latched on to Dev I guess I didn't like her
much. I admit I was jealous... at first. But then I thought, well you
know if that's what he wants and it makes him happy, then I should be
happy for him. And I tried to like her, I really did. But there was
something about her... I just didn't trust her.

Katherine Dixon: Both, but
worse after they broke up. I'd catch her snooping around his desk in
the office. If he was on the phone, I'd see her standing by the door
trying to listen in. When I busted her on it, she would always deny it.
But you know, it was obvious. And, you know, if she thought one of the
other waitresses was getting too chummy with him, she'd rewrite their
schedule so they had bad hours, lousy shifts; the kind where you don't
make the good tips, you know? Once they backed off of him, they would
get their schedules back. That sort of thing...

Detective Sam Murphy: We
found two baseball bats under the bar in the restaurant.

Katherine Dixon: You found
two? No, that's wrong, only supposed to be one. Are you sure?

Detective Sam Murphy: Quite
sure. One has blood traces...

Katherine Dixon: Are you
saying it was the thing that was used to kill him? Right there, under
the bar?

Detective Sam Murphy: We
don't have the results from the lab yet. Do you have any opinion on how
two bats got under there in the first place? Why one would have blood
on it?

Katherine Dixon: It could be
that somebody brought it another one... maybe they were going to go for
practice... could have even been Dev's... Sometimes you get injuries
when you play; I guess you could get blood on a bat that way... I don't
know. I didn't put it there, so I can't tell you.

Katherine Dixon: My journals?
I don't keep journals... oh, you mean my doodle books? Yes, I noticed
they were missing. What about them?

Detective Ted Armstrong: You
have a lot to say about Mr. Beauchamp.

Katherine Dixon: I'm sorry,
Detective. Did my fantasies make you blush? So what if I had a few
daydreams about him and wondered how his surname would fit? Is that a
crime?

Jack Diamond: Kat, there is
no reason to antagonize the detectives. Just answer the question.

Katherine Dixon: I will, if
they ask me one.

Detective Ted Armstrong: Do
you have any idea who Mickie Webster would have lent her truck to on
the weekend of January 2nd?

Katherine Dixon: No sir. As I
said, we weren't exactly friends. I suggest you ask her.

Detective Ted Armstrong: We
plan to.

Jack Diamond: Are we just
about through here, Detectives?

Detective Ted Armstrong:
Soon. Ms. Dixon, is there anything else you can tell us about Natalie
Posner? Anything, no matter how small or insignificant, that Mr.
Beauchamp might have said to you about her?

Katherine Dixon: He said that
she worried him. He wondered what lengths he would need to go to.

Detective Ted Armstrong: What
lengths?

Katherine Dixon: Uh huh. What
lengths he would need to go to in order to keep her away from him.

Detective Sam Murphy: What
did you take that to mean?

Katherine Dixon: I don't
know. I thought maybe like a restraining order or something...

Detective Sam Murphy: Was Mr.
Beauchamp afraid of her?

Katherine Dixon: I don't
know. He was tense about it. Edgy. Maybe he was afraid in a way. Who is
she? Did anybody ever find out?

Jack Diamond: Apparently she
is a witness in a murder case from years ago. The police are looking
for her.

Katherine Dixon: Really? I
thought she was following him. Do you think he knew something about the
same murder or something?

Detective Sam Murphy: We have
a few theories floating around about it. But we won't know anything
until or unless we locate her. Did he ever say where she was? If she
was here in Oxford?

Katherine Dixon: She must
have been here, at least for a while. Otherwise he wouldn't have been
so tense about it. Right?

Detective Ted Armstrong: Did
he actually say she was here in Oxford?

Katherine Dixon: No, he
didn't say.

Detective Sam Murphy: Do you
know if Mr. Beauchamp ever told anyone else about Natalie Posner? Or
why he decided to confide in you about her?

Katherine Dixon: I don't know
why he told me. He sometimes told me the most personal things. I know
you think I'm making it up, but Dev and I did have a special
relationship. He trusted me. I guess it made him feel good he could
talk to somebody, you know, let his hair down?

Detective Sam Murphy: Okay, I
get it. Do you think he told anyone else about Natalie?

Katherine Dixon: I don't
know. Maybe Daddy, but I think he would have said something to me if he
had. Maybe Mickie... but I doubt it.

Detective Ted Armstrong: Why?
Why do you doubt that he would have said anything to her?

Katherine Dixon: Well,
because I think they were already broken up when this started bothering
him and you know... they had a hard time being in the same room.

Jack Diamond: Murph, seems to
me this interview has pretty much come to an end?

Detective Sam Murphy: Is
there anything else that you haven't told us which you feel may be
pertinent to Mr. Beauchamp's murder?

Katherine Dixon: No.

Detective Sam Murphy: All
right Ms. Dixon, you know the drill. We need you to remain available.
Should you decide to leave Oxford, you will need to inform the
Sheriff's office.

Jack Diamond: She won't leave
town, Murph. But of course we will inform your office if she should.
